Thinking About Purchasing A 29' Scarab.....

I'm considering buying one if I can fine one for a reasonable price. I'd prefer a 96+ w/350mpi's, bravo drives. If it needs mechanical work(needs engine(s) or engine repair, even some minor cosmetic work, that's fine. Thanks in advance.

29' Scarab, Whippled
They are awsome rough water boats for their size, I am very satisfied with mine. I have the big single both are awsome boats.

1996 scarab 29.5- 502-efi -415hp-bravo 1

when you find one take a good look at the bulk head area and the transom ,,take a knife and see if the wood is soft in those areas they are prone to have problems there ,,it might look fine but you must check it ,other than that a very nice ride,i miss mine

Just be sure to have a survey done from a reputable company. I know one guy who bought a P29 and the transom was so soft the K-Plane bolts just pulled right threw the transom while running at speed.
